By: Navule Pavan Kumar Rao

Overview of this book

A new language on the block, V comes with a promising set of features such as fast compilation and interoperability with other programming languages. This is the first book on the V programming language, packed with concise information and a walkthrough of all the features you need to know to get started with the language. The book begins by covering the fundamentals to help you learn about the basic features of V and the suite of built-in libraries available within the V ecosystem. You'll become familiar with primitive data types, declaring variables, arrays, and maps. In addition to basic programming, you'll develop a solid understanding of the building blocks of programming, including functions, structs, and modules in the V programming language. As you advance through the chapters, you'll learn how to implement concurrency in V Programming, and finally learn how to write test cases for functions. This book takes you through an end-to-end project that will guide you to build fast and maintainable RESTful microservices by leveraging the power of V and its built-in libraries. By the end of this V programming book, you'll be well-versed with the V programming language and be able to start writing your own programs and applications.

Chapter 13: Introduction to JSON and ORM

In this chapter, we will learn how to work with the built-in libraries in V, namely json and orm. When building web services such as RESTful APIs, it is essential to understand the content type that you are exchanging with the clients or other RESTful APIs. JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) has become the go-to format for modern applications to exchange data. In this chapter, we will briefly introduce JSON and how to work with it in V.

When building data-driven applications, Object Relational Mappers (ORMs) become a crucial part of establishing communication between the world of objects and the world of relational databases. Through this chapter, we will introduce the built-in library known as orm, which ships along with the V installer.

We will be covering the following topics:

  • Getting started with JSON
  • Learning ORM

By the end of this chapter, you will have learned about the built-in json and orm V libraries. Understanding...
